-
@tonkxy really no design type stuff
you can look at my sample module which does all this…

@sdetweil
First url was set in start(), so I put that next of update in recursive. -
Time based background is a great idea. Are you planning on releasing this as a module?
-
@mmrize ok. my experience and training on maintaining software teaches me never to do this. you have two places where state is set.
-
@sdetweil you are right. It was just an example. :)
-
@easty i am! Im going to integrate it with weather conditions. It’ll have a gif background that resembles the time of day / condition. Ill be adding in overlays for hrly breakdowns, 5 day etc.

@tonkxy
Just for reference, there is a similar module already. You’d better get a hint from it.
https://github.com/BrianHepler/MMM-WeatherBackground
It derive the background image from unsplash collections by weather and season condition(and ideally, everything if it can be translated and notified from any modules.)
